Has anyone else had this problem or have heard of something similar?
This has happened to me on several occasions like surfing the web and not being able to go back and not able to pull up the menu.
I haven't ever had a problem with my buttons..they always work fine.

I've been running the same radio, ROM, and SPL on my Tilt for months. A few days ago it started having a white screen issue. Whenever the screen turns off, it is solid white when it comes on (either by me turning it on or receiving a call or text). If I turn it off and on again everything is normal. I've soft reset my phone a couple of times. Is there anything I can try short of a hard reset or flashing another rom/radio/SPL? Thanks!
Also, I can no longer uncheck check boxes with the stylus. I have to use the hardware buttons.
wow crazy i just had this happen to mine phone today, luckily i found a tilt 2 on craigslist for 150 so i just went and got that. as soon as i backup all my stuff i am going to try and get the tilt back up and running. ill let you know if i get anywhere.
Yeah. I'm about go upgrade with AT&T and am going to get an Aria or an iPhone 4.

Have you even tried a hard reset to see if that solved the problem?
I just flashed back to the stock ROM and it still happens. I guess it's a hardware issue.
I've never had an issue that I wasn't able to remedy by simply leafing through the forums here. However, this problem has put an end to all of that. I have the same exact issue as described by the OP and have absolutely no idea what to do. If anyone has any insight on the matter, please do help.
This is my second SGS with this problem and I am trying to determine if it is common or if I am just monumentally unlucky.
During normal use the bottom soft keys (menu and back) will become non-functional. One will stay lit and one will go out, but both will cease to work. Everything else on the phone is still responsive, sometimes the keys 'revive' themselves after a short period of time, other times I need to lock the phone to get them back.
I got this phone (a replacement) on the 6th, and this started on the 12th and has been happening more and more often ever since. Has anyone else seen this or have an idea what it may be? Or is this phone is destined to be my 2nd DOA in a month?
Here is a video showing the problem: '

That is definitely not normal behaviour.
Exact same problem here; it seems to happen when I'm using the phone quite a bit but when I leave the phone alone for awhile, problem seems to go away then return because I'm using it too much.

FYI: Samsung support told me to return my phone.
It is almost like one of the soft keys gets stuck 'down', because it is the same behavior if you just hold down one of the keys. Mine seems to happen more when bluetooth is on and it comes and goes in spurts; good for an hour, bad for an hour, etc.
ETA: I am sure now that the soft keys are getting 'stuck down'. I have seen it 3 times now where I would press the left soft key and the light on the key will remain out, then after a second or so the quick search screen comes up and the left soft key light is still out.
any solution to this problem? i seem to have a slightly different issue
this just happened to me recently everything was working fine until this morning when i tried to press the menu and back buttons it wouldnt work, although the buttons light up and is registering my actions when i press them the light turns off and let go is lit up again.
could this be a software issue or something conflicting with my lednotification mod?
please reply ^_^
I've got the exact same issue with my soft keys getting stuck too. Just started a couple days ago, phone's less than a month old. I was also told to take my phone in for repairs.
Oh one tech support guy told me that Froyo might fix it... I'm kinda hoping for that, seeing as how this issue isn't exactly 100% reproducible for the warranty service department
I have the same problem its almost like the soft key is being held down, anyone find a fix for this?
Add me to the list
Add another one to the list. I too am experiencing this problem and I'm unfortunately screwed because of it. I attempted to return the phone, however the store in question refused to accept it because they tested it and found it had been unlocked. Two week old phone on stock FW bought outright ($600) and they won't replace it.
Unbelievable!

Lock it back and go again.
I know this post it's a bit old, but i was harvesting the web looking for an answer to my problem that seems to be the same posted here.
I have a i9000T with eclair 2.1 and soft keys get stuck now and then. I couldn't find a way to reproduce this behaviour.
Recently (yesterday) i flashed a new 2.3.3 firmware hoping this curse to end. The problem seems to persist, but in some situations that i asume for a bad flashing (i didn't repartition neither wipe the phone before flash).
Anyway, can anybody tellme if this is a software or hardware issue? I'll have to return my phone or this is going to be 'fixed' with a nice flash?
Thanks.

Only one way to find out mate.
You need to flash a 2.1 rom that consists of 3 files. 512 pit and re-partition.
Should get you back on track again.
I did flash it again with the 2.3.3 JVH, a few moments ago. Also did a repartition and wipe data and cache. It seems nice, but in a few minutes the same happend. Now, when i press the menu button it takes a nice screenshot of the phone. xD
I need to flash to a 2.1 version? Why is this? I thought flashing with any rom will work.
Thanks.
Solution to this problem!
Hey all - I found a solution to this problem - I can confirm this has fixed the problem on TWO phones for me - read the whole thread as this fix doesn't like custom firmwares, but works fine with all the regular FWs I've downloaded.
Works perfect - and simple fix!

Do not do this unless you have a i9000m. You will break your buttons.

Too bad i didn't see this before
I have I9000T used this 2663 method and now my soft buttons doesn't work anymore...
Didn't find a clear solution in the forums so i want to ask, like i said my phone is a I9000T with official 2.2.1 (UBPJA) rooted using SuperOneClick and unlocked editing the nv_data.bin file.
I was thinking on doing a hard reset to get back to the factory defaults but i see many ways of doing it that it gets confusing... i see peolple doing it through the privacy menu but i think that only erase data and doesn't restore anything OS wise, also see other people doing it using volume + home + power and selecting later clear storage, i think this is the same that the option in the privacy menu, and finally i see some people typing this code *2767*3855# what is the proper way to get back to the original OS in my case?
Thanks in advance...
This is REALLY frustrating. I've been completely in love with my new Captivate for the past two weeks. It's worked extremely well, and been very stable. Not one problem at all, until now.
Just this evening, it decided to disconnect itself from the AT&T server (the popular 'connection failed' message. It has full bars, and can still make calls just fine. But it won't connect to the internet, sync my accounts, etc. It will also not connect over wifi, which I thought would work fine. I was wrong. It also isn't being recognized by my computer, no matter which mode I select. Even debugging mode isn't registering. I've rebooted the phone half a dozen times. Nothing. I've checked all network settings. Everything looks good. I've tried booting into the secret flash menu mode and resetting from that menu. Nothing.
Anyone else had this issue? What can I do to get this fixed? I need my phone back online for work asap.
If you are inside you 30 day window, return it and try another one. Sounds like a haardware failure, if you haven't been messing with flashing roms.
OMG I am having the EXACT same issue. My started this past Saturday. It will not for the life of me connect to the network. Its so frustrating...of course ATT has no solution to the problem exact sending me a warranty exchange....which I would rather not do, because it takes days to get the phone set up! ugggh~!!!!! if someone has any input in regards to a possible solution I would be forever grateful

I am by no means an expert, as I have only been a cappy owner for all of 3 days, but I have been doing a lot of reading and have been customizing my phones since the beginning of time, what exactly is taking days to set up? surely someone here knows a way to speed up that process for you.

I'm referring to getting it "setup" to my preferences..you know downloading apps, getting the widgets placed just so etc. Its all time consuming (for me at least).
I talked to a ATT rep who is "an android specialist" and she did a factory reset....which still sucks b/c I still have to redo everything on my phone.
Maybe it will help, fingers crossed. ..
My search keep going crazy....
I can just be doing anything or nothing at all and the search button seems to get pressed. I thought this was ROM related so I went back to stock.
This is still happening and called ATT and they are willing to ship me a new (refurb) warranty phone. Or is there a known fix for this?
Mine does it too, but not that frequently so I'm not too bothered. I haven't read anything at all possibly related to a fix though.
well just called them back. they are sending me a new phone and I hope it will go into DL and recovery modes with the keys.
just keeps messing with my games and or when typing an email or well it happens all the time.
New one on the way.
I had a Captivate for 3 days same issue.
I thought I was going crazy..
Started to type a message..... search pops up.
Continue...... search pops up.
I have a Rogers Captivate.
I've had that same problem, too. But now that I think about it, I haven't had it for a while now. I wonder if it does in fact have anything to do with the ROM...I don't remember it happening since I flashed Perception. I guess it could also be coincidence, but it used to happen pretty frequently.
Heya all,
So my Galaxy Mini started rebooting itself today.. Anybody knows what to do? I can't give much details only that I thought the problem could be the custom rom (CM7, New Experience). I flashed it back to stock, but it's still doing the same thing, sometimes it'll hold out for 30 minutes but sometimes it restarts and I can't even open Whatsapp before it reboots again.
All I can tell the on/off button for locking isn't always working as fast as it should. Could this button be stuck or something like that?
Also warranty is gone, got water damage from like 1.5 year ago.. Maybe that could still have something to do with it.
Thanks in advance,
Sanderth.
Update: I was just viewing a WhatsApp message and it rebooted itself again, please does somebody have any advice on how to fix this?
Bump: Please does anybody know what the problem could be? Today at school I wasn't even able to send a message via WhatsApp
Edit: I'm pretty sure it always happens a few seconds after I pressed the on/off button to lock. I just tried to lock it, got the prompt where you can enable airplane mode and turn the phone off and I clicked the back arrow, after ~5 secs it rebooted, could something be stuck behind this button or could my ROM be bugged?
Edit2: Well I disassembled my phone, probably something was stuck behind my button and fell out or something else was wrong with it.. But the most important thing is: It works like it should again, locking is going smooth now and it really feels as if my phone was better than before XD
Next time I'll open it first before opening a topic on xda, but well.. Hopefully somebody who will ever have the same problem will find this thread and fix it the same way I did

Well to be honest, it'll stick to randomly rebooting itself once in a while, less than it was before disassembling and putting it back together again though (From 5 times in one hour to max. 3 on a day). But trying this could never mess something up (as long as you know what you are doing.) At least it's possible to use my phone normally again.
For the people that don't know how to disassemble, use this: http://www.formymobile.co.uk/s5570disassembly.php
Disassemble until you've got the battery compartment of, then just assemble again.
